All are invited to the first summer show at North Light Gallery in Millinocket, Maine of Michael Vermette new show opening; Katahdin: The Mountain of the People 

Climbers on Third Cathedral by Michael Vermette

This wonderful exhibition opens with a reception  Saturday, June 30th from 10-6.
As you can see by the work in this email, this is a very special show, initiated by Vermette's visiting artist stay in Baxter State Park last August and worked on all year, during which time he produced many watercolors, oils and studies.  This show will be on view through the 28th of July.
   Michael writes about this project which grew from his time in the park, "By painting and teaching how an artist incorporates the figure in the landscape, I tried to symbolize a very powerful energy and spirit that influences its population."   You will be amazed when you see his work at how powerfully he can represent that relationship between figure and landscape and the considerable skills as a painter he possesses in order to do that.   
The open house is 10-6, with refreshments being served and a little music by Katahdin mandolin maker Paul Morrow.  It is the first day of 4th of July festivities in this area so come and enjoy the day... or the weekend!
 Hope to see you soon, Marsha DonahueNorth Light Gallery256 Penobscot Ave, Millinocket, ME, 04462 (207)723-4414 ~ (800)[email protected]
